Shutting down airport towers is political tool

I am once again disappointed that the Victoria Advocate would allow itself to be used in the Obama propaganda machine.

Even if sequestration is fully implemented, the federal budget will increase by $15 billion.

There is no decrease in the budget, only a cut in the GROWTH of federal spending.

In other words, the federal government will have $15 billion more to spend this year than last year.

This is a fact, not my opinion.

If airport control towers are shut down, this is a political, not monetary, decision by Obama to make the uneducated voter (obviously the majority) believe that the Republicans have shut down airports.

Even if there was less money to spend, it would be primarily the executive branch that decided where cuts would be made.
